Debian

Packages in Debian repositories are currently extremely outdated, please consider building from source for a better experience.

Since Debian "Sarge" (3.1) you can just say

apt-get install x-window-system-core wmaker gnustep gnustep-devel gnustep-games

to get GNUstep, X11 and Window Maker installed.

But what happen if you are on Debian oldstable (3.0) release ?

Here is an answer from gnustep irc channel:

<fsmunoz> change every occurence of "stable" for "testing"
<fsmunoz> remove the security.debian.org line
<fsmunoz> do apt-get update
<fsmunoz> apt-get dist-upgrade
<fsmunoz> repeat  this last one until nothing gets installed or removed.
<fsmunoz> the, replace "testing" with "unstable"
<fsmunoz> then, apt-get update
<fsmunoz> apt-get dist-upgrade
<fsmunoz> repeat, repeat.
<fsmunoz> done

The above was a general guide to upgrade from Debian stable to unstable, not exactly the best way to install GNUstep packages. If one doesn't want to upgrade it is possible to simply add the unstable apt lines to the sources.list and specify the distribution when installing the packages, e.g.

# apt-get install -t unstable gnumail.app

This will probably upgrade some other packages to satisfy dependencies, but will have a much small impact on the system since only the packages on which GNUstep depends will be upgraded.

Yet another way is to add tarzeau's repository (powerpc and source); he packages a huge ammount of GNUstep packages. Just add this to your sources.list:

deb http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian/ ./   
deb-src http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian/ ./

This repository contains packages made in unstable, so it's possible that the dependencies only are satisfied in unstable systems.

Slackware

Intel

Version 10.2

Libraries and accompanying applications will build with no modifications. Slackware 10.2 ships with GCC 3.3.6, so mixed Objective-C and C++ code is not supported, meaning additional frameworks/libraries may not be supported.
